would you support or refute this plan Taxing high-fat foods?In the United States, many states now impose taxes on tobacco to discourage smoking and to help offset the health costs associated with smoking. However, heart disease, which has been linked to a high-fat diet, is the country's number one killer. Taxing high-fat foods would be a great way to reduce the incidence of heart disease and help offset the cost of its treatment. The taxes could also be used to educate the public to the dangers of a high-fat diet, in the same way that taxes on cigarettes are used for antismoking ads.

No. There are some people where fast food from McDonald's, for example, is all they can afford. If you tax them, then may go hungry.
It would be great for fast food restaurants to develop healthier meals while keeping what they have now in order for people to have the chance of choosing healthier meals.

Well, a LOT more people eat junk foods than the number who smoke, and most of them are likely younger than them as well. I suppose I wouldn't mind the tax...as long as the regular price of the food went down as well. Even so, the money raised would really be beneficial (probably), so even though I don't like it, I'd probably support it. But, again, I'd be more for it if prices went down (or if our economy was better).
